◆ Texas physician Ashok Jain and his three companies—Psychiatric Solutions P.C., Longview Psychiatric Center PLLC and Longview Psychiatric Center LP—have agreed to pay $3 million to settle false claims allegations, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas said March 3.^[1] “The allegations included intentionally pressuring patients to accept unnecessary medical treatments and billing for those treatments, falsifying treatment records and billing Medicare for worthless services and services they did not provide,” the U.S. attorney’s office said. Jain and the clinics allegedly billed Medicare for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) procedures that weren’t performed and routinely administered TMS without a valid medical purpose. The case was set in motion by two whistleblowers who had worked at Psychiatric Solutions Longview. The business was sold in 2022.
